Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his happiness for Saudi Arabia and its football fans after the country was awarded the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

FIFA officially announced on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia would host the prestigious tournament.

Ronaldo, a former player for top clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, has been a key figure in the Saudi Pro League, and he welcomed the announcement with excitement.

Speaking on the historic announcement, Ronaldo said, “It’s amazing. I didn’t expect it, but it is so, so, so good.

“The 2034 World Cup will probably be the best World Cup ever. After what I’ve seen today, I’m convinced that it will be amazing. The infrastructure, the stadiums, the conditions for the fans, the airports, and everything else, it’s amazing.

“The future (in Saudi Arabia) is very bright in my opinion, not only for the World Cup, but because every year they host big events here – football matches, boxing; the quality of entertainment is very high. The country is unbelievable. The Saudis are very good people; they like to learn, which for me is very important.”
